USA. San Francisco, California. 1984
“This is the most terrible picture ever taken.
I look swollen .. my heart wasn’t happy.
I wasn’t lucky to be born a lady in the U.S.A.
In Guatemala I was my own boss, I was middle class, I was
a nurse. At the beginning I was sad to be a housekeeper, now I am
used to it.
When your illness has no cure why worry?”
